Title: Esophagus: Normal Lower Esophageal and Squamo-columnar Junction Mucosae
1Esophagus Normal Lower Esophageal and
Squamo-columnar Junction Mucosae
2Esophagus Normal Squamous Epithelium
3Esophagus Normal Squamo-columnar Junction
4Esophagitis (Inflammation and Reactive Epithelial
Changes of the Esophageal Mucosa) Has Many Causes
5Reflux Esophagitis is the Culmination of
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux-Induced Changes in
Epithelial Cell Turnover
6Esophagus G-E Reflux - Changes in Epithelium and
Vascular Papillae
7Esophagus G-E Reflux - Defenses Against
Reflux-induced Injury
8Esophagus G-E Reflux - Symptoms and Endoscopic
Findings in Reflux are NOT Predictive of Biopsy
Findings
9Esophagus G-E Reflux - Heightened Epithelial
Turnover in G-E Reflux is Shown by Increased
Epithelial Tritiated Thymidine Labeling
10Esophagus G-E Reflux - Reflux-induced Epithelial
Change Is a Consequence Of Increased Cell Turnover
11Acute (Neutrophilic) Inflammation and Erosion In
Severe Reflux Esophagitis
12Severe Epithelial Reactive Changes with
Eosinophils (EOS) in Gastroesophageal Reflux
13Sequelae Of Prolonged G-E Reflux

Relationships
15Endoscopic Landmarks In The GEJ Region Normal
Versus Barretts (Columnar-lined) Esophagus With
Location Of Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES)
16Requirements For Diagnosis Of Barretts Esophagus
17Barretts Esophagus Gross Appearance
18Barretts Esophagus Should Be Suspected And
Confirmed By Biopsy When The Squamo-columnar
Junction Is Displaced Or Highly Irregular
